Here are the right sides of the projects I showed you yesterday!!!
For those who know me (and some of you guessed yesterday) you'll probably have realised by now that these are going to be 'scrap bags'. All the leftovers from the squared away bags didn't get thrown away - they're currently being re-cycled into this project.
I've just looked it up and it's three years since I last made similar bags - they're shopping or tote bag sized. In fact you can see the series that I made here.
Now, one of those bags I kept for myself and that one has been used almost everyday of it's life. It's my 'take into town' bag - and I go there most days. It's still looking really good and doesn't need replacing (it's just had another 'bath' courtesy of the washing machine) but I MAY well keep one of these two new ones as Etsy isn't doing very well with the square bags. Perhaps it's time to retire from being a 'bag lady'.
Now, who said I'm no lady, I heard you. Bet it was Pigmini!!!. Most folk who know me will tell you that I'm no lady - I'm an old git and proud of it!!!
It would be a shame to waste an inch of those beautiful fabrics, this is an excellent way of using them up!
ReplyDeleteYour series is so cute & cheerful ! And love the central circle with tatting, along with the decorative stitches ; together they lift the quilting to another level :-)
ReplyDeleteI spy the fabric for my two square bags! I'm sorry sales are slow. Your bags are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to buy another one, but our $ is way too low at the moment to do any online shopping at all! Which is very sad.
ReplyDeleteI greatly admire your talents as I don't sew. Lovely bags!
ReplyDeleteI really love the 'scrap bag' you gave me, but because I don't want it to wear out I am very careful how and when I use it!
ReplyDeleteI had missed the previous post with the finished ones. They are lovely. (As are you - Git or no Git.)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see these! I know I have to... lol
ReplyDeleteI did get one of our puzzle square bags at Palmetto last year. Perfect for your on the go tatting project
These are already gorgeous, and you haven't even shown us the finished bags yet. :-)
